This is a super-easy way someone taught me to make homemade yogurt that requires only 2 ingredients. Pay attention to the notes. Halve the recipe if this is your first time. Usually because store-bought yogurts have lots of additives first-time yogurts do not turn out perfectly. But save 1 cup and use it as base the next time and you will see how well it turns out.

👨‍🍳 Instructions

Pour the milk into a pot and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Reduce heat and simmer, about 10 minutes; do not let it boil over.

Remove pot from heat and allow to sit for 30 to 60 minutes.

Dip your finger into the milk every once in a while to determine when you can leave your finger in the milk for 10 to 15 seconds without burning.

Pour in the yogurt; there is no need to stir.

Put the lid on the pot and carefully wrap a blanket around it.

Place the wrapped pot in a slightly warm place where it will be undisturbed for 6 to 10 hours; overnight is best.

Transfer to the refrigerator to allow the yogurt to continue to thicken.
